Re: Synthetic Gear Lube for Honda OB?
Unless Honda drive units do not like 'slippery' they are just trying to pump up their bottom line.<br />The only thing I'm aware of that does not like syn gear oil is limited slip differentials. The hypoid is too slippery for the clutch packs to hold properly.<br />I do know that Ford recommends synthetic hypoid in my E-150 differential. The only basic difference between a diff a drive unit on an o/b is that the o/b operates around a potentially wet invironment. Synthetics are as protective of metals, that get wet, as any petroleum products.
